SILK&PLEATS

I got this beautiful silk top yesterday from the Salvation
Army store. It was half price, down from $12.00 to $6.00 so it was a bargain. I
was a little apprehensive about buying it at it doesn’t fit me very well in the
shoulders but with a cardigan over top you can’t see, and when I get the chance
I might to a D.I.Y and cut off the sleeves?

I think the pleats on this top a beautiful, and add a point
of difference which as you probably know by now I am very fond of. The cream
colour of the fabric means it super versatile and I can wear it with practically
anything. For this look I paired it with my tapa skirt – I call it my tapa
skirt because it reminds me of tapa cloth? Could be completely off but that’s just
what it makes me think of. As well as my
red cardi which is super warm and comfy so hopefully I could wear this out in
the wellington weather. Another thing
that is super exciting (not really) is that this is another 100% op-shopped
outfit. I always get a sense of achievement when I mange that. Stupid I know!
